Tips on Choosing a Cheap and Safe Online Delivery Service

Along with the development of information and communication technology, online business or e-commerce continues to increase. Many merchants have started to promote and ship their products on a national scale. This will certainly continue to increase, given the number of Indonesians who have internet access by APJII numbered about 132.7 million inhabitants of a total of 256.2 million inhabitants.

In carrying out its delivery service, there are many service options from freight forwarding companies . Although already has popularity, as an online business must be still keen in choosing freight services. So we do not have to worry about lost production goods on the road or damaged at the time of delivery.

Here are some tips that can be done to choose the best online goods delivery services in Indonesia:

1. Choose a freight company that has legality and permit

One tips to consider before going to the next tips is that we must carefully pay attention to the permission of the legality of the company, still active or not. Shipping shipping companies that do not have a legality license can still receive shipment or delivery of goods without permission. So, as a sender we must remain cautious so as not to lose money.

2. Select the specialist route delivery service selected

Not all freight forwarding companies have skills in shipping goods according to the route we have chosen. They have delivery restrictions, inter-city, inter-island, inter-provincial, inner city or just abroad. Usually, the already popular expedition companies have many routes to choose from. Such a company is what we should be using.

3. Expedition offering price is not too cheap

All expedition companies in Indonesia will certainly continue to compete with other competitors about the price. But, the expedition companies that have the best service will still keep the balance of the standard price offered. All because of responsibility issues. It should be suspected if there is an online freight forwarder that offers very cheap rates with excellent service.

4. Pay attention to time or delivery estimation

All freight forwarding companies will show the estimated delivery of goods for how many days. But, not all will fulfill that promise. There are several factors that need to be considered by us as the sender of goods. One of them is when we order the delivery service. Do not use the delivery service at an improper time, such as holidays, holidays, national days and other big days. Because of the time like this shipping expedition will experience overload shipment or delivery of goods amounted to very much. Then, if an expedition is already overloaded, then they will increase the speed of delivery regardless of service quality.

5. Provide check receipt feature for tracking delivery

The best shipping expedition is an expedition that features a check receipt using both website and mobile based applications. This check receipt feature can be used to monitor the shipment in real time. If the freight forwarder does not have this one feature, then it can be ascertained that the company does not have a good service facility.

6. Have lots of fleets

There are many types of fleets commonly used by shipping companies to deliver goods, such as ankle trucks, pickup trucks, cdd trucks, fuso trucks, containers and others. At least, a good expedition company that has a fleet of more than 15 units.
